How to detect if an *.exe/*.dll is 32bit oder 64bit?

[Cindy Parker]

Assume I have got an *.exe or *.dll. How can I find out (without trial and error) if this
is a 32bit or a 64bit version?

Is there a inspect tool/easy (!) disassembler which peeks into the binary code and
tells me the information? Maybe a built-in WinXP tool?

If you have to ask, it's IE 32-bit and you're not running WinXP 64-
bit.

Why would you think they come in 32 or 64 bit ?

It should be noted that the most widely installed version of Windows
XP is based on 32 bit. If the software states "Windows XP"
compatible, it most likely 32 bit.
